Mayport (Bar Pilots Dock), FL Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today in Mayport, it's a prime day for diving and boating, with scores of 8.5 and 8.4 out of 10, respectively. The ocean is offering friendly conditions with a gentle 0.26-meter wave height and a water temperature of 28.3°C. For divers, the calm waves and minimal wind make for an ideal underwater exploration, though high chlorophyll levels might affect visibility. Boaters will enjoy the low wind speeds, peaking at just 10 knots, and the absence of rain until later in the afternoon, around 3 PM. Anglers can expect a solid day with a fishing score of 7.4. The best action is likely during the solunar major period from 9:11 to 11:11 AM, coinciding nicely with the morning high tide. A waxing gibbous moon adds an extra boost to fish activity, though the high chlorophyll might not translate to visible baitfish. Surfers and sailors, it's a mixed bag for you. Surfing scores a 5.7, with modest wave heights and periods not offering much thrill. Similarly, sailing scores a 5, as the light and inconsistent winds won't provide much of a push. However, if you're keen to just glide along leisurely, the calm conditions are your friend. Looking at recent trends, today's conditions are a slight improvement over yesterday, particularly for kayaking, which scores a commendable 7.8 today compared to 6.9. Wildlife watchers should also have a fruitful day, with a score of 7.9, thanks to favorable solunar timings and low-tide opportunities. In the coming days, expect temperatures to climb, with a higher chance of rain and slightly choppier seas by the weekend. For today, your best bet is to grab your diving gear and hit the water before the afternoon showers roll in.
